Le Yum Part 2 Joël Robuchon L’atelier
What's better than a once in a lifetime dinner at L'Atelier de Joël Robuchon (at the MGM in Las Vegas)? A second one…with photos!
The menu decouverte de saison (seasonal discovery menu) is eight courses and it is amazing. It is not inexpensive, but if the opportunity arises, cease it!

Have you had a once-in-a-lifetime dinner that you got to repeat?
The food looks so pretty, I can only imagine how delicious it was.
@Alouise, utterly!
I am super jealous….and you enjoyed this amazing experience not once, but twice.
@TravelFunTrips, I absolutely don’t take it for granted, it was an amazing experience.
The food looks amazing! I love a typical French dinner 7 courses cheese and all! I wish I got to do it more often, living in France, but it is still a twice a year event.
@Barbara, it is an investment in time and money, so doing it only every so often is the best way to truly enjoy it!
I think the best thing I EVER EVER ate in a restaurant was a matchstick potato nest with a poached egg and caviar from L’Atelier in the Publicis Drugstore in Paris. I don’t remember anything else I ate that day.
@Anne, um noting that quickly! I never met an egg I didn’t like!
